After receiving the emperor's decree to escort the first offender Wang Hanxin to Beijing to await trial, Su Chengdong's hanging heart finally fell to the ground - if the emperor wants to kill Wang Hanxin, the best place is of course to kill him in front of thousands of Goryeo people, since he has been escorted to Beijing to await trial, then this fate is saved.

However, Liu Yan was not stupid enough to explain in the holy decree how to deal with Wang Hanxin, so that he would embark on the journey without any mental pressure, so Su Chengdong naturally couldn't know the good luck of Wang Hanxin's trip. After reading the holy decree to the master of the crime, looking at the indifferent look of the principal, Su Chengdong couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, he supported the table with one arm, tilted his head and said: "Wang Hanxin, listen, even if the holy decree says that it will not take your life, it does not mean that you will have any desirable results, you had better be mentally prepared for this." ”

Wang Hanxin nodded: "The subordinates know this very well, but since it doesn't matter if they die, I'm afraid there is no treatment that is troublesome." ”

"You are just hard-mouthed, although it is none of your business, but I still hope that Your Majesty will have a satisfactory ruling on you."

"Thank you for your concern, my subordinates are grateful." Wang Hanxin replied.

Although he tried his best to appear careless, Su Chengdong could still see the excitement he was concealing. This young general, who is only twenty-one years old, may often seem very old, but in fact, he is still the fifteen-year-old boy at heart. is what Su Chengdong likes the most, but it's a pity that this person is about to leave his side, and I don't know when I will see each other again.

The farewell party for Wang Hanxin was quite simple, and only Su Chengdong participated. Gai Yanxiao, Hua Meng. Zheng Menglong and Gao Dingbian are only five people. This troublemaker Wang Hanxin somehow is quite popular in the Liaodong Army, and if the number of people is not limited, I am afraid that the entire Liaodong Army will see him off. Everyone has high hopes for Wang Hanxin. Therefore, the parting words were more sensational, which made everyone sigh and cry. After the meeting, Wang Hanxin would take Zheng Menglong's boat and float across the sea to Qingzhou, from where he would enter the Yellow River and swim upstream to Chang'an. Gao Dingbian also boarded the ship and sent him to the mouth of the Datong River. After saying goodbye to the generals, Wang Hanxin stepped on the boat without looking back, avoiding facing everyone again.

Gao Dingbian patted Wang Hanxin's back behind him and said, "I didn't expect to be separated from you, it's the creation of people." ”

"Don't talk about it, big brother." Wang Hanxin turned his head to look at Gao Dingbian, tears rolling in his eyes: "We will always meet again in the future." Before that day comes. Please take care, big brother. ”

Gao Dingbian also felt that his nose was sour, so he had to try his best to raise his head, otherwise tears would fall. After a while, he said: "This is to Chang'an, the people are unfamiliar, the virtuous brother can no longer act willfully as usual, the capital is not as good as the army, the relationship between the people there is complicated, and there is a powerful backstage behind any person you can't imagine, and it will be troublesome to offend those people." ”

Wang Hanxin smiled when he heard this: "Big brother, don't you know brother and me?" We who crawl over on the battlefield will be afraid of this? But big brother, you must pay more attention. ”

"What do I have to pay attention to?" Gao Dingbian asked puzzled.

"I'm leaving. You are the youngest general in the Liaodong Army. If my calculations are correct, I don't think I'll just put you in charge of a Tiger Guard Battalion, I'm afraid there will be more responsibilities on you. However, I think that in the future, our primary goal will no longer be Goryeo, but will shift to the battle against Turk. As a result, a considerable part of the elite troops of the Liaodong Army will be withdrawn, and the number of troops remaining in Goryeo will drop significantly. However, the threat of Goryeo has not been completely eliminated, and the blessed king Choi Jianjiang is still there. If he is left too much time to prepare, he will gather strength to gain an advantage. It will be a problem to clean him up by then. ”

Gao Ding smiled: "I'm afraid this point is not something you and I can decide, if the imperial court has no intention of fighting Goryeo again." We just have to hold on. ”

Wang Hanxin winked at him and said with a smile: "The imperial court is an order to hold on, but it doesn't seem to have said that you can't launch a large-scale counterattack against the other party's attack, right?" ”

"You bad boy, you still don't stop. You're trying to wipe out the Goryeo Kingdom completely, right? ”

"yes. That's my fundamental purpose. Of course, the threat of Goryeo does exist, and if we fail to eradicate the roots, it will certainly pose a new threat to our country in the future, and it is also the responsibility of a military general to eliminate hidden dangers in a timely manner and eliminate the threat to our country. ”

Gao Dingbian nodded, hooked Wang Hanxin's neck with the crook of his arm, and said with a smile: "Even if you make sense, I will grasp it well, but now is not the time." Instead of worrying about my problems, it's more important to think about your affairs, with your temperament, don't get into trouble when you get to the capital. Don't let your brother worry about you thousands of miles away. ”

"Okay, okay, don't nag your mother-in-law. We're about to go to the sea, and we're going to say goodbye, can you say something to make everyone happy? ”

Gao Dingbian's mood suddenly became agitated: "I also want to say it, but unfortunately I can't think of it at all, and I even doubt that there are such words in the world that can make us not sad." ”

After saying this, the two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly both burst into tears.

At the end of 805 in the Gregorian calendar, the country of silk made major personnel adjustments in the military aspect. Xue Boren could not continue to lead the army to fight due to his leg injury, so Liu Yan made him a squire in the military department and stayed in the center; Su Chengdong acted as the veteran He Ling's Liaodong protector; Youzhou defense envoy Yang Lian was transferred to Andong to protect the town to guard Goryeo, Gai Yanxiao was appointed as Sima of Andong Protectorate, and Hua Meng and Gaoding Bian were appointed as Governor Shi; Zhu Tianshun was promoted to the defense envoy of Youzhou; Zheng Menglong served as the governor of Liaodong and Andong; Liu Xianzhi was appointed as the envoy of Taiyuan Economic Strategy. Only Wang Hanxin, who didn't know that he had become a general of Lingweiyuan, but was going to serve as a street patrol on Chang'an Avenue, continued to rush to Chang'an stupidly.

Most of Liu Yan's appointments were called a perfect military system by later historians, and the only one who was criticized was the last Chang'an street patrol soldier, because his arrival brought a blessing or a curse to Chang'an, no one can say.
